In this episode, we talk about why you need to stop asking for permission. Get excited, because this is Tiny Leaps, Big Changes.
Welcome to another episode of Tiny Leaps, Big Changes where I share research-backed strategies you can use, to get more out of your life. My name is Gregg Clunis.
Join us in a discussion about why you should stop asking for permission and how you can start improving your life.
Key Takeaways:
- When deciding to do something you either go and start doing the thing immediately or you consult people.
- Feedback is good, but the timing of the feedback is important.
- We ask people for feedback to validate our thoughts.
- Most times we begin to overanalyze and stop moving forward with whatever it was we were working on.
- To avoid asking for permission, jump right in and start immediately.
- Just start taking action that moves you towards the thing.
- The more things you start the more successes you will have.
